    Breathless, thirsty, dislodged from dreary nostalgia.
    Since the age of three, Basia has been sitting on piano stools and trying to hammer things out. It started with her piano-teacher mum, but along the way Basia’s picked up guitar, autoharp, banjo, ukelele, sax and flute. In high-school her instrument was the upright bass – a lone girl among “eight-foot-tall guys, goofing off with the tubas”. There’s a sense of play that still suffuses her music, jostling under the songs of regret and love, want and joy.

    With its amalgam of anthemic pop, electronica, ornate classical flourishes, and yes, some not-so-obvious nods to classic R&B, this is not the document of a band ingratiating itself for broader appeal.
    “I would love to be able to communicate with the whole world one day but I’m pretty happy with the way things are going right now,” Lenssen admits. “If our music can take care of the few people who want to discover the world in a different light or do crazy things, I’m really happy to facilitate sending our message to those people.”

  47. The Rosebuds (USA)
    The Rosebuds defy categorization with each new release, like creatures in a myth shifting shape to avoid capture; slippery catfish in a North Carolina river.
    Mention The Smiths and Ivan will turn his Morrissey croon into a gruff Greg Dulli growl or splash it against some reverb-laden surf guitar. Call them southern gothic and they'll release a dance record. They do not spend time categorizing themselves, each record is simply evidence of new curiosity.

Originally made up of 4 friends they were soon joined by a rare bird flying in from Montreal landing smack bang in the middle of the quartet.

  53. Tutankamon (SWE)
    The lyrics deal with love, friendship, bitterness, development and of course with the fact that there is a new band in town.
    Tutankamon asked us not to mention their history in other bands (Shout Out Louds, Peter Bjorn And John, The Concretes, The Plan etc.) and that is no problem for us. Tutankamon definitely needs no namedropping whatsoever. The tracks can stand on their own with all the musical experience the group has, with all the ups and downs attached to it.

  57. Woodpigeon (CAN)
    Artist image
    Woodpigeon creates music much the same way a bowerbird crafts a lovenest: the right space is chosen and the bower goes up twig by twig, berry by berry, embellishing a basic construction that’s already sound and lovely.
    Canadian Mark Hamilton mostly sings about the Unbearable Mark-ness of Being: secret love ninjas, imaginary segregated private schools, stolen kisses, confounded passion, windy days and city streets, thoughtful walking, the kind of longing that is wonderful, and the kind of longing that is sorrowful

  60. Young Galaxy (CAN)
    Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Young Galaxy is the brainchild of Stephen Ramsay (ex-Stars) and Catherine McCandless.
    By way of background, both Ramsey and McCandless stem from island roots, from Canada’s Western frontier, that place of rising tides, beach side campfires and fogged-in cedars. Yet, there’s another facet, a cool urbaneness, the measured cadence of a city strut. Years spent in the fertile cosmopolitanism of Montreal have made their mark.
